My mom arrived in Bangkok a week and a half ago. We ate our way around Bangkok for the first few days. Literally... Bangkok, and Thailand in general, has the BEST food once you know where to look. We then decided we wanted to spend some time on Thailand's famous beaches and our first stop was Phuket. Two days on Phuket was enough....although perfectly lovely, the town was deserted (low season) and the red flag was flying our entire stay. I of course still swam in the ocean, risking life and limb to jump the waves. We then proceeded to Koh Phi Phi Don, the now famous island where the movie "The Beach" was filmed. Phi Phi can be described in one word: paradise. It is gorgeous; white sand beaches, clear turquoise water, lush tropical jungle, a very quaint town with friendly, smiling people. I am in L-O-V-E!
Yesterday my mom and I chartered a boat out to Phi Phi Ley (another island close to Phi Phi Don) to snorkel and scuba dive. I saw five (FIVE!) sharks, schools of florescent fish, and a few gigantic starfish colored in the most unusual colors: florescent periwinkle, lime green, etc. We had a great time and I added new layers of sunburn to my existing pink state.
